According to the optical image capturing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the definition of the critical point is a point on the surface of the lens element where the tangential plane of the point is perpendicular to the optical axis.

According to the optical image capturing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the lens elements thereof can be made of glass or plastic. When the lens elements are made of glass, the distribution of the refractive power of the optical image capturing lens assembly is more flexible to design. When the lens elements are made of plastic, the manufacturing cost can be effectively reduced. Furthermore, surfaces of each lens element can be arranged to be aspheric (ASP).

According to the optical image capturing lens assembly of the present disclosure, a stop can be configured as a front stop or a middle stop. A front stop disposed between an imaged object and the first lens element can provide a longer distance between an exit pupil of the optical image capturing lens assembly and the image surface, so that the generated telecentric effect can improve the image-sensing efficiency of an image sensor, such as a CCD or CMOS sensor. A middle stop disposed between the first lens element and the image surface is favorable for enlarging the field of view of the optical image capturing lens assembly, thereby providing the optical image capturing lens assembly with the advantages of a wide-angle lens.

According to the optical image capturing lens assembly of the present disclosure, when the lens element has a convex surface and the region of convex shape is not defined, it indicates that the surface can be convex in the paraxial region thereof when the lens element has a concave surface and the region of concave shape is not defined, it indicates that the surface can be concave in the paraxial region thereof. Likewise, when the region of refractive power or focal length of a lens element is not defined, it indicates that the region of refractive power or focal length of the lens element can be in the paraxial region thereof.

According to the optical image capturing lens assembly of the present disclosure, the image surface of the optical image capturing lens assembly, based on the corresponding image sensor, can be a plane or a curved surface with any curvature, especially a curved surface being concave facing towards the object side. In addition, at least one image correcting element (such as a field flattener) can be selectively disposed between a lens element closet to the image surface and the image surface so as to correct the image (such as the field curvature). Properties of the image correcting element, such as curvature, thickness, refractive index, position, surface shape (convex/concave, spherical/aspheric, diffractive/Fresnel etc.) can be adjusted according to the requirements of the imaging apparatus. In general, the image correcting element is preferably a thin plano-concave element having a concave surface toward the object side and is disposed close to the image surface.
